ShoeboxLA gives Los Angeles artists an opportunity to do
one-day, site-specific exhibitions outside the traditional gallery
setting. Founders Sophia Allison and Paul W. Evans provide an intimate
space that challenges artists' and viewers' expectations of size and
scale. The physical gallery is a small, portable white cube for easy
installation and deinstallation. This movable space started its first
season in September 2011 and has appeared in various locations around
Los Angeles including the Little Toyko Galleria in Little Tokyo, All
Star Lanes in Eagle Rock, Paradis Ice Cream in Los Feliz, Alias Books in
Atwater, Kabab Way in Glendale and the Studio for Southern California
History in Chinatown.

This past June ShoeboxLA completed
its first exhibition season. As we are a pop-up, mobile space, and our
openings/exhibitions are only 3 hours long, we'd like to create a
catalogue to highlight all the great work that artists have created for
our small gallery this past year. We need your help--we are
asking for funds to be used for the creation and printing of a
modest-sized catalogue. The catalogue will be printed locally (in Los
Angeles), and we hope to create 500 copies. It will serve as an
important piece of documentation for ShoeboxLA; we'll allocate 2-3 pages
for each artist to include images of their exhibitions with us during
the past year. Please check out our great incentives for donating and
thanks in advance for your support!

ShoeboxLA:

Now in our third season! Started in September, 2011 by artists Sophia Allison and Paul W. Evans, ShoeboxLA gives Los Angeles artists an opportunity to do one-day, site-specific exhibitions outside the traditional gallery setting. Locations change for each show but the space remains the same. Blink and you'll miss us...
